At last here it is, the thing all
Mirage owners have been waiting for, an easy way to edit your Mirage.
Mirage Ed allows full control over the majority of the Mirage's functions, no more looking up the code stuff. This makes editing the Mirage so much quicker and easier. This is not just a screen display of the parameters but is arranged to feel like a synth with a sample wavesource attached, but allows you to change values from your computer. It is now easy to make adjustments to existing sounds.
By using Mirage Ed you can now see how other sounds have been created particularly to see how the wavesamples are laid out across the keyboard. Especially the factory sound library which is very good, not always easy to see what has been programmed, until now.
Remember all that top key stuff and
how confusing it gets? Well the Keyboard Allocation window in Mirage Ed
provides a quick and easy way to see how the wavesamples have been laid out
across the keyboard.
This is the main starting point
showing the basic synth layout of the Mirage sound structure. The various
synth modules are accessed by clicking its block, shown in a red box
offering quick access.
The top part of the window
shows the memory pointers and the memory space they represent. Below that
are the various memory pointers (in hex). The text in green boxes are editable Mirage
parameters. Also on this screen are the wavesample names, this feature
helps as a reminder of the samples.
Additional features:
Mirage Ed is designed for Windows 95/98 but not guaranteed to work 100% under XP.
Runs on basic 200MHz PC, with MPU401 compatible soundcard. I have done
a full help file which is a useful addition to the Advanced Sampler's
Guide giving tips on how to process samples necessary for the Mirage,
do give it a look.
